Aina Grace, a victim of domestic violence, has revealed how she escaped death at the hands of her mother-in-law, Evangelist Eucharia Ifeyinwa Ojukwu, and sister-in-law, Onyechukwu Precious Ojukwu, both of whom assaulted her and stabbed her in the face.
The victim stated this when our correspondent visited her at Mobolaji Hospital, Oke Bola, where she is receiving treatment.
According to her, “This is not the first time of being abused physically by them, and the father of my son lives in South Africa. This particular incident that happened on Sunday, 26th of March 2022, almost claimed my life because I escaped death through the skin of my teeth.
“That fateful morning, I was washing and having a conversation with our neighbour regarding relationships. Onye, my husband’s younger sister, was inside the room overhearing our conversation. When my mother-in-law came back, she accused me of talking about their family to strangers in a bid to explain to her.
“While explaining to my my mother-in-law, she started beating me with cane. Suddenly, I saw my sister-in-law rushing from the kitchen with knife, as she approached, targeting my neck, it was divine intervention that kept me alive.
I am calling on all law enforcement agencies and human rights groups to come to my aid. I need justice, and I don’t have strength or know people. I equally charge the Iyagunku police station over the ethical approach because my life is on the line.
